Its proponents believe that unrestricted technological progress (especially driven by [[artificial intelligence]]) is a solution to universal human problems like [[poverty]], [[war]] and [[climate change]]. They see themselves as a counterweight to more cautious views on technological innovation, often giving their opponents the derogatory labels of "doomers" or "decels" (short for deceleration). They disagree with [[Effective Altruism]] perspective that [[Artificial Intelligence|AI]] [[risks]] are very probable. They think that benefits of accelerating AI research and development outweights all the disadvantages and risks. They fundamentally disagree with [[degrowth]]. ## Main resources - [Effective accelerationism - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_accelerationism) <iframe src="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_accelerationism" allow="fullscreen" allowfullscreen="" style="height:100%;width:100%; aspect-ratio: 16 / 5; "></iframe> - [Guillaume Verdon: Beff Jezos, E/acc Movement, Physics, Computation & AGI | Lex Fridman Podcast #407 - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fEEbKJoNbU) <iframe title="Guillaume Verdon: Beff Jezos, E/acc Movement, Physics, Computation &amp; AGI | Lex Fridman Podcast #407" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8fEEbKJoNbU?feature=oembed" height="113" width="200" allowfullscreen="" allow="fullscreen" style="aspect-ratio: 1.76991 / 1; width: 100%; height: 100%;"></iframe> ## Landscapes - [Fetching Title#mvdq](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdCmYqih3YQ) - [[Network states]]
